Co‑founder / Executive in live‑streaming platforms · M17/17LIVE (ecosystem partner)

Enabled commercial adoption of GTO mechanics on major live‑streaming products and secured partnerships that expanded token circulation

Worked at the intersection of publishing, platform distribution and token economics to bring GTO usage to a broader creator economy. Structured commercial agreements and promotional programs that made GTO an accepted medium for virtual gifting on partner live‑stream platforms, thereby converting product features into measurable token flow. Coordinated onboarding programs for top creators and key publishers, directing incentive pools and reward mechanics that produced concentrated demand during promotional windows. Those campaigns changed short‑term trading volumes by translating off‑chain creator payouts into on‑chain token movements, and they set precedents for later partnership monetization structures. Engaged in cross‑platform negotiations that influenced how tokens could be redeemed, burned or exchanged for fiat services, shaping secondary market supply pressure. By aligning creator monetization with token utility he materially affected user retention dynamics and recurring token throughput within the live‑stream ecosystems.
